SATURDAY

 Caught some rays...

 Trained for the destuffing Blogsville Olympics event...

 Supervised the little mess makers...

Checked out Uncle's new (er) bike. This pic is especially for Uncle Floyd, Aunt Virginia, and Aunt Corrie. We prayed for its use. Forgot my doggles and helmet.
Lady's got her suitcase almost packed and hasn't even gotten mine out yet. Uh oh. Guess I'm going to the Home.

AT LAST! PICS OF MY TREK!

Nan brought a thumb drive with pics from my recent local trek.

 Started off so pretty...

 We passed by a school.

 These trees are so huge to a little dog like me.

 The view.

 Exploring.

 Man! Some really old mail here.

 King Marley!

I'm hot, so I found a puddle to cool off.

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY: PANCAKES!

Play Date

 My little buddy Padma from downstairs came up to play. She loves balloons. She'll look at Lady and say, "bu LOOOOn? bu LOOOOn?" Until she goes and gets her one. I hate balloons. She sat on my day bed and wondered why I didn't go over there. I was petrified that thing was going to go off as she squished it and bit it.

 I'll just play with Hedgie, thank you very much.

Monkey

No, another monkey didn't try to get in my house. Recently I went to Vic and Nan's home for dinner, and we forgot my bag with my toys, dish, and blankie. So, they gave me a blankie and dish to use, and a stuffie to play with!

 It has a rubberband in the arm so it flies across the room, and screams like a bird from the Amazon! REALLY LOUDLY!

 Vic had it when he was little, but he gave it to me. Good thing, cuz he really wasn't getting it back after he let me play with it. I loves it. 

Saturday was Christy and Pranjal's birthday, so Lady and I gave them a party. Lady made pupcakes, but they were chocoate. I got to have the other stuff though. I love Masala chips. Christy is from the Children's Home where I stay when Lady can't take me with her. 
I'll be going there next week when Lady goes to Nepal. I've gotta stay here and train for the Blogsville Olympics! I'm training for De-stuffing event. I'm a pro. I de-stuffed a bear this morning. He's missing a nose and an eye. I haven't decided all my other events yet, but I am excited!!! I hope you are going to pawticipate as well!

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY

PEE MAIL

 Thanks to Lady's camera issues, I missed the recent Pee Mail photo contest. Thought I'd share my pics with you anyway. Here's me reading the  "High Times."

 Some very interesting articles here from some very interesting characters!

 After I was gone for two weeks, I had a LOT to catch up on! Peeing on the pot takes on new meaning here.

This is one of my most favorite places to check the news. The neighborhood street gang members regularly leave mail here.
The rains are making everything lush and green. And they help cool things off for this little black dog. Well, gotta go check the evening news.

 The new toys I told you about.

 I love my Hedgie!

See Dead Duck? Be sure to read my poem about it.

 I'm just trying not to get stepped on.

 Twelve little mess makers came today, including a new one who is afraid of dogs. Oh, pleeeze.
